Poebot.gen, Poebot.dam, gaobot all detected

[redcrowley]

So far, the computer is running the same.  Last night my scan was ended with a shutdown.
Thanks for your help.

[redcrowley]

Sorry about the formatting there.  I copied and pasted from the website.

[guestolo]

Could the computer be shutting down from overheating?
It's only been shutting down since the installation of McAfee's?

You can try uninstalling all of McAfee's and see if you still have shut down issues
Make sure to reboot the computer after all removal
Reinstall the free version of Avira and run a scan

[redcrowley]

I'll try that after I shutdown my firewall and see if I am still shutting down randomly.  At the beggining of this thread I informed you of my random shutdowns when the firewall is not on.  Those were caused by  a remote procedure call.  Which I believe is an effect of Poebot (I may be wrong there).  I'll let you know how it goes.

[redcrowley]

ok, almost as soon as I shut down my firewall, these messages started popping up.  These usually precede the RPC shutting me down.

McAfee has automatically blocked a buffer overflow.

Details

Detection:

File: C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe

More Info

Buffer overflows occur when suspect programs or processes try to store more data in a buffer (temporary data storage area) on your computer than its limit, corrupting or overwriting valid data in adjacent buffers.

If you do not recognize this activity, McAfee recommends that you continue to block it. If you recognize this activity, trust it in the future.

[guestolo]

Computer shuts down when I disable firewall
Ah yes, you did say that
Can you do the following for me please

Download Stinger from McAfee's
Save it too desktop
Double click on Stinger.exe
# If necessary, click the Add or Browse button to add additional drives/directories to scan. By default the C: drive will be scanned.
# Click the Scan Now button to begin scanning the specified drives/directories.

When the scan is done
Click the File menu and select Save report to file
Save the report to your desktop

Reboot the computer

Post back that report please

[redcrowley]

Running that scan now.  And thanks again for your help.

As an aside, I have been reading your thread with napster, and I can't believe you kept trying to help him.  The man was an utter jerk.  Kudos to you.

[redcrowley]

Stinger is searching my C drive (the only partition/drive I have)  but it will take awhile due to the fact that it's 3/4 full of data.  I will be heading to work soon, so if it doesn't complkete by then, I'll post the results around 11 pm EST.

[redcrowley]

I have tried 2 times to complete a run of stinger.  It seems to be sgutting me down the same as when a Mcafee scan runs.  But I have not been at the computer for either shutdown, so I am currently running stinger while I have time to watch and see exactly what happens.

Also worth noting:

When Mcafee (or Stinger) shuts me down, it leaves the computer running, but the monitor is no longer able to get a signal.  I am assuming it shuts down windows entirely, and this is why.  Also, after this happens, I cannot turn off the pc from the power button.  I actually have to unplug it.  Just thought that tidbit may be pertinent.

I'll let you know how this stinger scan goes when it completes.

[redcrowley]

ok, so Stinger is not completing, and it is causing a shutdown.  It hung up on a file in the Microsoft MSDN Library folder, then shut off.  I was unable to get the entire filename as it was long, and the time between stinger freezing up and the comp stopping working was short.  I can tell you the filename ended in letters and nubers.  I believe the last 2 were AX.  Tried to write it down, but could not get it.

I am not sure if the file where it stopped working is pertinent, but I figured any info would help.

[guestolo]

Are you able to run Stinger in safe mode>>WITHOUT networking?

[redcrowley]

I ran stinger in safe mode with no networking.  It still hung up on the same file, but did not shut me down.  This atleast gave me plenty of time to see the file and path it hung up on.  And here it is:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Microsoft MSDN Express Library\FL_cpref_hxs_99151_ENU___.3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1

Don't know if it helps at all, but that's what I have figured out.

[redcrowley]

UPDATE:

I have deleted Microsoft Visual Studio 8, and it's folders from my drive.  I have uninstalled the MSDN library.  All can be reinstalled later.  I just figured it may help the scan complete.  At the moment, I am running the gaobot fix tool from symantec to see if it will clear one of my detected viruses (ie gaobot and poebot)  then I am going to attempt to run stinger again, unless you say otherwise.

[guestolo]

I was going to suggest something along those lines
I was going to ask you to exclude that folder from a McAfee antivirus scan
But your method should work

There definitely seems to be a conflict with the beta version of Microsoft MSDN Express Library 2005 Beta
and McAfee's

See if you can run both via safe mode

[redcrowley]

ok, the gaobot fix tool from Symantec found no detections(not run in safe mode).  Now I am running stinger(also not in safe mode).  Then I will rinse and repeat in safe mode for both.

[guestolo]

Make sure McAfee is up to date
It's Virus scan should be good enough to run in safe mode
But to be on the safe side, run Stinger also

[redcrowley]

Neither the Symantec Gaobot tool, nor Stinger located anything when run in normal or safe mode.  McAfee does not run in safe mode, so I am starting a scan right now in normal mode to see if it completes.  I will post any details when it finishes.

[redcrowley]

I ram Mcafee unimpeeded in normal mode and found nothing.  Which is weird since nothing has stated it removed the original viruses.  So I took down my firewall to test, and BANG, I start getting buffer overflows caused by the svchost again.  I am stumped.

[guestolo]

Ok, let's see what can be done about this
Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)

Service pack 2 has been out for quite some time
It includes needed security patches
You should consider updating

NOTE: Without patching your machine, quit disabling your Firewall or your asking for trouble

Before updating
Let's try a different virus scanner

Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe

• Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
  
• This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
• Once the short scan has finished, Click Options > Change settings
  
• Choose the "Scan"-tab, remove the mark at "Heuristic analysis".
• Back at the main window, mark the drives that you want to scan.
• Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
• Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
  
• Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
• When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found:
  
• If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:
  
  This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
  
• After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
  
• Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
  
• Close Dr.Web Cureit.
• Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
  
• After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously in your next reply.

And as a double check, this scanner won't take too long
Download and save too desktop
 F-Secure Blacklight(blbeta.exe)

    Double click to run blbeta.exe
    * Accept the user agreement.
    * Click Scan.
    * After the scan finishes, click on Next, then Exit.
Do not rename any files if found by blacklight, I need to see the log

BlackLight will create a log on your desktop with the name "fsbl-xxxxxxx.log".
